Crucified to the World

Reflections God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Gal. 6:14)   Crucifixion means death – and so Paul is stating that when he was baptized into the death of Christ he was severed from this world or earthly realm. When Paul was joined to Christ in His death, he was severed from this earthly realm and made a citizen of the heavenlies. Paul is referring to the fact that we are all born of this world as members of …

The Chimera Complex by Pete Garcia

  “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. Daniel 7:7   We know that according to Scripture, there is coming a governmental system upon the earth that will absolutely dominate the rest of the world to the point that everyone, everywhere will be subservient to their authority. We also know, that given our current chaotic …

36 Israel's Historic Rebellion

  On the 10th of Av of 591 B.C. some of the elders of Israel came to Ezekiel recognizing his prophetic abilities and desiring that he connect with God for them. It is not given exactly what these men asked Ezekiel but from God’s response in this chapter is appears they may not have been genuinely pious. Certainly the people they represented had abandoned their worship of God. These elders might have been divided in their loyalties. God recognizes their true nature and that of the people of Israel and is about to remind the nation through them of the …

ADVANCING THROUGH ADVERSITY

  2 Corinthians 12:7-10(KJV) 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I …

Glorying In the Cross

Reflections God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Gal. 6:14) Paul is using the tool of irony in this verse. He knew that the Cross cut off every thing about himself on which he could stand, and therefore in which he might glory. But rather than lament this fact, Paul is thankful for it. He says he will glory in the fact that he has nothing to glory in. The Cross did this. In short, he will glory only …

Face to Face

For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Cor 13:12) Paul the apostle had seen visions of God. He certainly had knowledge of Jesus Christ beyond what most of us come to possess in this life. Yet he says, “Now WE see through a glass darkly.” Paul included himself in the crowd. On our best day, on the top of our highest mountain, we see God only as if, “through a glass darkly.” Now, that ought to be …

Dead to Sin

Reflections   Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness. (I Peter 2:24)     Jesus Christ did not only bear the judgment for sin – He died – but He also bore sin itself. This was a supernatural identification wherein the entire Adam race was gathered together in Jesus Christ – and thus, His death on the Cross was the death of the Adam race. When we come to Christ and are joined to Him, we are by faith taking our place in …

SEEKING GUIDANCE: THE PATTERN

We often want to know God’s plan, but there’s a process to seeking His guidance.   Matthew 7:7-8(KJV) 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. There’s a pattern we should follow in seeking God’s guidance, and the first step involves cleansing. Sin can strangle the Holy Spirit’s power in us and cloud judgment, so we must ask God to reveal and then forgive anything that …
